Dreams Come True

The vows “in sickness and in health” were very profound for Wayne, whose dream was to marry his beautiful fiancé Judy. On February 5th, 2023, Wayne and Judy were married in their home. They were surrounded by friends and family, and the event was livestreamed for those who could not attend. We were able to make this special dream come true with the help of some incredible vendors in the Windsor-Essex area. Cakeface Mobile Makeup&Hair Artistry provided hair and makeup services. Little House of Cupcakes, Armando’s, and Tim Horton’s supplied food, snacks, and beverages. The house was beautifully decorated with floral arrangements from Essex Flower Basket. Dynamic Sound DJ Service provided the music for the celebration. The day was captured by Ciera Kathleen Photography .

Stephanie’s love for her family is truly unending. Stephanie’s dream was a small viewing party for her and her family to watch her family’s favourite hockey team, the Edmonton Oilers, and a special video from her favourite player, Connor McDavid.

We decorated Stephanie’s entertainment room with Oilers-coloured decor and balloons, and provided charcuterie from Chow With Aaron. We also made sure the family was dressed appropriated with Oilers sweaters with a special Connor McDavid jersey for Stephanie. There’s nothing like a loving family rivalry over hockey teams, so we made sure to give Stephanie’s son a Montreal Canadiens jersey, too. To top the night off, Stephanie received a very special video from the one and only Connor McDavid himself. Connor thanked her and the boys for being fans while keeping them in his thoughts before the big game.

Tony is a big fan of harness racing and wanted to spend an evening having dinner with his family while watching the races at Woodbine – Mohawk Park. Tony and his family had a wonderful dinner at the racetrack and were met with few surprises for the evening courtesy of the folks at Mohawk and the Ontario Harness Horse Association. A race in the race program was named in Tony’s honour and featured in all of the programs. Tony and his family also had their photo taken with the winning horse and jockey for Tony’s special race. Tony was also able to meet one of his favorite drivers, Jody Jamieson and chat about his passion for horse racing.

Silvana dreamed of enjoying a special weekend away with her family. On Saturday, September 10th, Silvana, her son, and his girlfriend made their first stop at the Toronto Zoo where they enjoyed a sentimental trip that resembled the days when Silvana would take her son as a little boy. Silvana then travelled to Niagara Falls for her second stop, where she and her extended family stayed in beautiful suites at the Fallsview Resort and Casino overlooking the falls before enjoying a decadent meal at the Keg. Silvana’s family is the most important part of her life; they have been tremendous supporters throughout her cancer journey. It was our pleasure helping to create a weekend full of happiness and quality time with those who matter the most.

Part of this dream was made possible through the generous donations of dinner and hotel rooms provided by The Keg and Fallsview Casino Resort.

Nancy dreamed of throwing a backyard party for her entire family. On August 20th, Nancy was the super host! Her backyard party was complete with an event tent, a catered meal, a cake and cupcakes, and a bouncy castle for the children. Nancy’s favourite colour is orange and she loves flowers, so of course we had to make sure to send some beautiful orange arrangements to help decorate. The entire day was captured by kat baranowski photography so the family can have lasting memories of the dream that came true.

Antonella was a dedicated fan of Scottish-Canadian country music artist, Johnny Reid. Not only did she have fond memories of attending his concerts with family and friends, but now, in some of her most challenging days, his music provided her a sense of comfort and peace. Antonella dreamed of personally connecting with Mr. Reid, and her cousin Carm and her best friend Angela were on a mission to make that happen. With the support of Mr. Reid and his amazing team, Oneday Dreams was able to deliver a personal video message directly from Johnny himself. Surrounded by her closest loved ones, Antonella watched as Johnny sent her his love and well-wishes and even sang her a song. As Antonella’s cousin Carm eloquently stated, this was Antonella’s time to feel the love and warmth she had given to so many of her family members and friends. We’re honoured and proud to be able to fulfill this dream!
